COMP 145 - Computing for Mathematics Educators

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: MATH 141 or MATH 161/161E, each of which may be taken concurrently
In this course, future mathematics educators will solve problems by writing computer programs with input, output and control structures, including decision structures and repetition, using tools that are particularly relevant to the elementary classroom. In addition, students will use a computer algebra system to gain mathematical insights and solve mathematical problems, including programming in the computer algebra system. Readings and discussion will address computing and technology in schools. Offered fall semester. Note: A student who has successfully completed COMP 150 may not take this course for credit. Students who wish to reach computer programming at the secondary level should take COMP 151 instead of, or in addition to, this course.
